Galatians 6:1 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Brethren, &c.— The Apostle here exhorts the stronger to gentleness and meekness towards the weak: "If a man, by frailty or surprize, be overtaken in a fault, do you who are eminent in the church for knowledge, practice, and gifts, raise him up again, and set him aright with gentleness and meekness; considering thyself." The sudden transition from the plural number to the singular, adds a great deal of beauty and force to the caution: for it is as if the Apostle had said, "Let every particular person among you remember, that he also may be in danger, through his own frailty; and by thus looking to himself, he will be induced to behave with greater tenderness and benevolence to others."

Galatians 6:1

1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
